[QUOTE="Norman, post: 1526439, member: 4232"] I have about 500 shells of #7 shot for bird hunting most everything but turkey and waterfowl. I have probably 2-300 shells of 00 buck for general shotgun defense for 0-25 yards (can get pretty good hits at 50 yards with the right buckshot though). For buckshot I like federal with flight control wad. I think it's LE127 I have about 50-100 slugs for 0-200 yards. I like federal trueball. Basically you want larger shot (smaller shot number) for bigger game and further distance. Buckshot is for defense, and I like 9 pellet 00 ( 00 is the shot size.). You can use slugs to hut deer in Ok. It pretty much turns your shotty into a .74 (I think that's right) caliber rifle sending 1 oz of lead down range. I like to have slugs in the side saddle and buck in the mag tube. When you chambe a round don't top off the tube so you can 'select a slug' if you need. IMHO, YMMV and all that [/QUOTE]
